We thought this restaurant was great. Set in the beautiful Bardessono. We sat outside under the lights which was amazing, but the indoors also looks beautiful. Food was fantastic and great wine selection. Can't go wrong!

Impressive hidden quiet restaurant in a vineyard-olive tree landscaped setting. It has both patio and indoor dining and has an extensive garden which provides vegetables for the excellent cuisine.

We chose the menu of the day ($45) which included 4 course - starting with a delicious gazpacho soup made with their garden produce, followed with an excellent halibut served on a bed of wild mushrooms, peans, and string beans from their garden. It was followed with a strip steak which we asked for a vegetarian option and the chef produced a delicious quinoa and vegetable entree from their garden . The dessert was a tempting banana bread pudding with carmel sauce and a scoop of banana ice cream on top.

Service was attentive, but there was a wait for food to arrive from the kitchen. The indoor dining had some good partitions for better privacy and there is a long common table in the middlewith no privacy.

We visited Lucy for a romantic night out. Our waiter was very helpful with menu selections. The half-portions make it easier for you to experience more of the menu. The striploin steak was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! The lobster risotto was a treat as well.

The heirloom tomato salad with apple balsamic vinaigrette was not great -- the dressing was overpowering to everything else.

Service and attentiveness was GREAT. Would visit again and recommend to others.

Unexpected in a place like this..... The service was non-existent, so I'm not sure if it was good or bad, there was simply no one waiting on us. And to have to actually wave someone down was pretty embarrasing, but they still ignored us. The food was okay, but the service really crushed this experience.

Dear Freshie8,

Your review was very disappointing for all of us here at Lucy to read, it's clear we failed you in a large way on your dinner experience. We apologize for the poor service or non existent service you received was clearly unacceptable and there are simply no excuses on our part. If you have a moment please do contact me via email or my direct number below; I would like to determine the date of your dinner so we may investigate further as well as discuss the details and specific's of your experience.As you can see from the majority of our reviews, the feedback is generally positive regarding food and service which is why your comments are particularly disappointing to myself and all of the team here.I understand you are based in LA and therefore a repeat visit would be challenging but if you are ever back in the area, we would very much like the opportunity to make it up to you.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly,

Regards,

A group of 6 of us were seated right away outside for our reservation. The outside area was very nice and the heat lamps kept is warm. We ordered several items to share since we all work in restaurants. The food was good, but not wow and there were a few issues with the execution of the dishes. Service was also mediocre and not as attentive as it could have been. For the price point and prestige of its location we expected more. I do have to say my favorite part was the sorbet which we finished our meal, but I would not return to Lucy's. There are much better restaurants in the area.
